Show Description: I came across the website AshleyMadison.com this week. And I was shocked to find out a site devoted to helping those have marital affairs has over 1.7 million members. Now we all know I am 43 and going through my own midlife crisis, but I sincerely do not get why people indulge their lust and cheat on their spouses. It just never ends well. Join the discussion as we discuss marriage, sex, and adultery.
All links below should open in another window (if you allow pop-ups)

Allen's Legal Pad for Adultery
Went to dinner with friends last night
Commenting on lots of changes I have made in my life this past year
Vocation, church, house, daughter to college
Wife said only change left was a red car – midlife crisis
No girlfriends allowed
Mom thinks I am losing my marbles
But I cannot figure out why folks would have an affair
I get the thrill of the chase, conquest – get lust
But you know going in that the consequences are gonna be disastrous, catastrophic
Why do it? Is it ever OK? Justifiable? 44% of Americans evidently say that it sometimes is – and Christians appear just as likely to commit
Fox Sexpert – reasons folks cheat this week
Oprah did a show this week
Cause this is widespread – ashleymadison.com – 1.7 MM folks
1% of adult population on that site alone to arrange hook ups
“When monogamy becomes monotony”
Boredom
Thrill
Variety
Anger
Lack of sex at home
Love the kids, hate the wife
Travel a lot
Lot of folks say men just not hard wired for monogamy – hound dogs
Self-control is the key – I have lots of urges and desires every day that are not helpful or healthy
Self-control – in traffic want to take a baseball bat to jerk who drives by and forces way in – but I do not do that

Prayer Request from a Listener
I am 27 years old smoker with high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I cant seem to find the strength to quit smoking, eat better and start exercising. I have 2 children and want to be around as long as I can for them. Please help me pray for the motivation and strength to make these changes in my life. Thank you.
